Chapter 51 Weve Become Friends (2/2)
Something’s strange…… Just when I thought I had finally managed to introduce myself, she suddenly asked me to marry her for some reason. It doesn’t make any sense…… It’s as if she just leaped out of the process and burst straight to the end?

In response to my reply, Isis-san had a sincerely happy smile on her face as she continued speaking.
[……My hand…… you grasped it…… I felt happy…… happy! ……That’s why…… marriage.]
[………………]
Arehh? That’s strange? I just felt a chill run down my back different from what I felt before…… It was just my imagination, right?
I felt like I was getting a cold impression from her before, but she’s now looking at me with such heat in her eyes that I think she would end up burning me.
Ummm, what should I do in this situation? I need to say something…… Errr……
[H- How about…… We start as friends for now?]
[………………..]
When I fearfully suggested so, as I carefully choose the words I say…… Isis-san’s cheeks turned red and she happily smiled.
[……Friends…… Kaito-kun’s friend…… I’m happy.]

It appears that she liked it, as Isis-san repeatedly said the word friends over and over again like she’s in delirium.
Unnn. It’s that…… How should I say this… I guess she’s one of those intense ones……
Having a little chat with Isis-san, we had a particularly casual conversation. It was already getting dark, so when I told her I need to leave soon, Isis-san had a lonely look on her face as she muttered.
[……Kaito-kun…… Where do you…… live?]
[Ummm, I’m living in Duchess Albert’s mansion just down this street.]
[……Can I…… come to visit you…… sometimes?]
[Ah, yes. Of course, you can come over anytime. I’ll go tell the homeowner myself.]
[……Wouldn’t I….. be a bother?]
[It’s alright. You don’t have to act that reserved. Isis-san and I are friends, so you’re welcome to come over anytime.]
[……Ahh…… unnn.]

When Isis-san timidly asked me that, I told her that she can come to visit me whenever she wants, and a really happy smile appeared on her face.
Looking at her like that, she just looks like a normal pretty woman. Seriously, I’m wondering why I’m feeling that frightened of her just now.
After happily nodding at my words, Isis-san takes out a blue flower from somewhere and holds it out to me.
[……Ummm…… This is…… for you.]
[Thank you very much. I’ll take good care of it.]
[……Unnn.]
A flower with blue petals as clear as ice. Receiving the flower which I haven’t seen before from Isis-san and after thanking her, I store it in my magic box.
[Well then, I’d better get going. Let’s talk again next time.]
[……Unnn…… Thank you…… Kaito…… I love you.]
[T- Thank you very much…… Well then, see you later.]

[……See you later.]
For some reason, a strange chill creeps behind my back again. After putting that strange chill aside and bowed my head to Isis-san, who was giving me a small wave with her hand, I left the place.
Dear Mom, Dad—– There really was a lot of things that happened today. In a way, this may be the first time in my life that I’ve worked so hard. But because of that, Isis-san and I—— have become friends.
It was in a corner of the vast Demon Realm. A region covered by ice that hasn’t melted for thousands of years, a place known as the Land of Death.
In a room within a huge castle covered in thick ice, a girl called as the incarnation of death had a happy expression on her face.
[……Kaito……]
Saying the name of the young man he met today, her cheeks blushing as if she’s in love with him, the Death King, Isis Remnant, muttered to herself as she stared at the books stacked like a mountain.
[……I found him…… I finally found him…… I’m not mistaken…… Kaito…… Kaito is….. my “fated one”……]
Muttering so, Isis holds a book…… her favorite book—- within her embrace.
The book tells the story of a young girl who falls in love with a man she met by chance, and as she sees herself in the girl’s eyes, her cheeks blushed and she mutters the name of the man in her thoughts over and over again.

The name of the young man from another world who took her hand after the thousands of years of fear, the hand of someone who had always been walking in solitude……
The Death King, feared by most of the beings in this world as the symbol of death…… Her mind was now only filled with thoughts of that young man.
=================================================================
The Duchess…… Is going to get another visit again…… Ahhhh……
~ Important Notes ~
The Death King…… the one feared by most beings as she was always clad in magic power imbued in death, and because she was too lonely, the moment Kaito took her hand, Kaito just literally broke through the limit of her Affection Gauge.
